It is hard to believe that our little man is already ONE year old!! The past year has been full of ups and downs but one little guy has always put a big smile on all of our faces…JACK! Jackie and I finished his one year compilation video last night so click on the video and see our little guy grow over the past year.
We had a great time celebrating Jack’s first Thanksgiving with family and friends. We missed seeing Aunt Jen, Eli and Micah and also Uncle Bob, Aunt Lindsey and all the girls. Jack had a great time and really enjoyed eating all the great food!
This year has been a very challenging one and we are so thankful for everyone that has been there to support us. We hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Our little man is 11 months old! The last few months have been some of the most fun so far. Jack now has two bottom teeth and one just starting to come though on the top. He started to take some steps about two weeks ago and he is now walking like a little champ. He can go the whole way across the room and into the kitchen without falling down.
A week ago Jack started wearing his cranial remolding orthosis, his helmet. Jack has had a flat spot on the back right side of his head pretty much since he was born. He had been stuck in the birth canal for an extended period of time and came out extremely cone headed. Because of that, his head never really went back to the right shape. Scott and I have tried just about everything to try to encourage his head to go back to the correct shape and the helmet is our last option. We have done a ton of research and are really optimistic that it will help with Jack’s head shape. He will have to wear it for at least 3 months but possibly up to 6. We think that he looks adorable!
Jack took his first “official” steps today! He has been walking with the aide of a truck but these were his first unaided steps. Over the past couple weeks he would sit down as soon as he realized Jackie or I had let go of him while he was standing. Today, it didn’t bother him at all and off he went. We are in trouble…
